mommys who co-sleep
Did you tell lo doctor you were co-sleeping? What is the response im going to get from her dr this month? She is almost 6 months and weve been co-sleeping since 4 months. She starts the night out in bed until she wakes up to eat, and then she comes into my bed.

I lie and say he sleeps in his cot to avoid lectures.

There are safe ways to co sleep. Idc wat my Dr says. We like to snuggle lol been co sleeping for about 3 weeks bc I'm grumpy af at 3am
deleted-user·
I never got asked but past experiences with my own kids I will not be co sleeping with this baby.
deleted-user·
I co-sleep after my LOs 4am bottle and we sleep together for about 3-4 hours unless we go back to sleep after the second feeding. My co slept with my DD as well. I don't tell the doctor because they all tell me the same thing, that it's not safe.

I don't bed share, but I think it's beautiful and something you should be honest about. Just explain it's a personal choice and you're doing it safely :)

I eventually told my pedi when she asked. She doesn't judge. She knows I do my research. My kiddo also had some bouts with high fevers. It was a good way for us to know if she was spiking temps when she was sick.

My dr never asked. But in the hospital I fell asleep with dd and the nurses were batches about it!!!

My son is 7 months he started sleeping in the bed at 3 months when I went back to work because he wasn't sleeping through the night. The pediatrician blames co sleeping as to why he isn't sleeping through the night ?

Our pediatrician asks and has brought it up everytime sense the first time asking, if I still co sleep my LO. Yes!! Lol she's 9 months now(: she said it was dangerous back when my DD was 2 months and stuff and told me she's had moms whom have really hurt there baby's bad while co sleeping. But now she just says well I've warned you before. Try getting her down in her own bed. I've tried but we both just sleep so much better together I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Thank you so much! I just didnt want to lie to my dr and feel guilty and like a horrible mom! Because i didnt want to tell her! I know the nurse will ask for sure but i have yet to find a nurse i actually like

My doctor never asked so I never brought it up.

I tell them he sleeps in his crib. Which is half true. Sometimes he sleeps in his crib and sometimes he sleeps in my bed with me. But I'm not going to listen to a lecture every time. They always ask if baby sleeps in a crib on his back with nothing else in the crib. I just say yes.
deleted-user·
His doctor asked, I told her yes. She never said anything about it.

What's a safe way to co-sleep? I tried once with my lo and it only lasted about 2 hours before I decided to put him back in his bed. I was extremely nervous and didn't dare move a muscle for fear of suffocating him. All 3 of my kids slept in their own beds.
I have always wondered how it's done in a safe way

Dd's dr asked if we cosleep. I told her we do, she never said anything against it. (Lo sleeps in her bed for the most part now, but we co slept & night nursed for over 2 years.)
We co slept with ds for around 4 years. He would start off in his bed and end up in ours by morning.

My hospital is pro- breastfeeding so some encourage bed sharing. But honestly I haven't had any issues with answering truthfully.
deleted-user·
My doctor in a way suggested co sleeping. She said for breastfeeding moms is a great way yo catch some zzzzzz and still feed yoir little one.
deleted-user·
My doctor has never asked.
deleted-user·
I told my son's doctor when he was still a baby, she would say "well I won't says anything about it yet"
deleted-user·
I don't tell them I co-sleep.. I lie ? and tell them he sleeps in his crib.. We've been co-sleeping since he was born... I'm aware of all the dangers and I feel I don't need to be lectured on it at every visit
deleted-user·
My dr never asked and I told the health nurse he slept in a crib. I love snuggling my baby at night.
deleted-user·
My doctor knows. I don't think he ever said anything about it though
deleted-user·
I let baby sleep next to us but sometime in the night I bring her to me. And she'll sleep in bed with us! I don't tell dr though because here they don't recommend it, but I love it.

I actually just changed pediatricians after 11 years because one of the Drs in the practice lectured me about cosleeping and when I told her that I am very aware of how to cosleep safely her response was 'remember that when you wake up to your dead baby'. Needless to say there is no way we were going back there. My kids are going to be going to my nurse practitioner who I LOVE!
deleted-user·
I co slept until 9 months.....my doctor was all for it. Just depends on the doc :)
deleted-user·
Yes we co-sleep. I've done research and do it safely. No I do not tell her doctor because she's very adamant about baby sleeping by herself but I'm more comfortable with her sleeping with me because she's a tummy sleeper as well.
deleted-user·
I lie about it although I haven't really been asked.
She sleeping through the night? Nope but I'm okay with that.
Any crib bumpers?
Nope
deleted-user·
My Dr asked me, and I told him yes, he asked me to quit and I told him when I'm ready I will
deleted-user·
His first doctor lectured us every visit. Our new doctor has been the complete opposite with everything. Which is probably why he loves her.
deleted-user·
My kids dr didn't really care just said if I took medicine that caused drowsiness, drank etc...to have them sleep in their own space for safety.
I also slept with my son in my hospital bed when he was born. Nobody cared they just made sure the rails stayed up
deleted-user·
My daughter's pedi didn't really say much about bed sharing but my mil sure likes to run her mouth about how my daughter will be in our bed forever and blah blah. Even if that's true she doesn't need to run her mouth about it every time I see her. She's a real peach ? sorry guess I needed to vent lol
deleted-user·
My doctor asked once and tried to give me a lecture.
I just responded oh thanks
deleted-user·
I got a lecture about sids two days ago and it's been stressing me out since, even though my older two daughters also bed shared.
deleted-user·
My pedi knows I bed share. She just said to let her know if I have trouble transitioning my kids to their beds. My son has struggled and still gets in my bed at 4 yrs old. My 8.5 month daughter will sleep anywhere, anytime. She frequently falls asleep face down in the floor while playing! She STTN 2 nights ago; I had to get her to dream feed to relieve my boobs!

I think my Dr expects it so I never really brought it up. I suppose most would call her practice "crunchy."
deleted-user·
I get lectured by nurses.
deleted-user·
Yup, I told him. He didn't care. He's a great doctor too, the kind that will call you personally to check on little one.
deleted-user·
I've never been asked by dr
deleted-user·
I say no to avoid lectures as well.
deleted-user·
I've bedshared with both of my babies since they were newborn, their pediatrician supports it fully, she said as long as we're safe about it then she thinks it's great.
deleted-user·
My Dr loves that we bed share. He's known that we've bed shared since day one, I love our practice. I would lie to avoid lectures though, no shame.
deleted-user·
Her pedi knows and has never tried to lecture me, just has said if it works for us then that's great :)
deleted-user·
When my kids' pediatrician asks, I say I prefer to bed share. They say ok then move on.
deleted-user·
I did tell the Dr. She told me my son will be in my bed until he's 19 ?
deleted-user·
Lol Megz same here
deleted-user·
They've never asked me.
deleted-user·
My doctor never asked. I causally brought it up when my son was 6 months. He (my Doctor) didnt say anything negative. Co sleeping can be done safely.
